Diamondbacks vs Rays Pick, Betting Analysis
The Rays are currently two games out of first place in the AL East, and now get set to host the Diamondbacks for a three-game set.
Arizona has won two in a row, but it's only two games above .500 and 10.5 games back of the Dodgers in the NL West.
The Diamondbacks send Zac Gallen to the mound, and he hasn't been particularly good on the bump this year, posting a 3-6 overall record with an ERA of 6.10.
With that in mind, we're targeting Gallen to fall under his strikeout total, especially since our Action Network PRO projections maintain a strong 10.8% edge.
As seen above, PRO is projecting just over three strikeouts for Gallen and the line at BetMGM (at the time of writing) is 3.5 (-110).
We're going to put our faith in the Rays' bats and follow the negative trends that Gallen has shown this season.
